switching between posting mode and work mode is mostly not a big deal but trying to remember that I need to capitalize letters and use punctuation in work emails is difficult sometimes

Use them in both. Makes life easier for you and easier for those who read your ramblings!

I once wrote a very polite email to the Microsoft CS and got a reply from like the Head of Customer Support Europe that ended in "Cheers, Lisa" Well, thanks for getting my issue resolved, Lisa.
